Author: Dr. Markus Frietsch and Stefan VorndranMonday, May 01, 2017Precision assembly processes in the semiconductor, electronics, and automobile industries are benefitting from new capabilities of hexapod 6-axis motion and positioning systems in production processes. Advances in controllers allow real-time connectivity with other production components. The six-axis parallel kinematic hexapod robots are available with load capacity from 2kg to 2,000kg and travel from 10 to hundreds of millimeters, while maintaining sub-micron precision.
